South Korean Helicopter Crash

In South Korea a helicopter carries a one ton sculpture through the air. It is to be placed on top of the Olympia Bridge in Seoul. The operation goes horribly wrong; the hook won`t come loose. The helicopter`s three man crew does not survive.

If the hook didn`t come loose why didn`t they just fly back with it?

Looks like the chopper lost power, nothing to do with the hook.

note to self: do not accept U.S. hand-me-downs from the Vietnam war. according to wiki these pilots are not remembered anywhere on the bridge. not cool.

^suc33d^ yeh, it kept on descending, seemed unnatural for a trained pilot to do that knowing the blades will get fucked like that....or mayb he underestimated the situation...

Perhaps he thought that if he descended the hook would come off. He didn`t take into account the length of the blades...

Well to ME it seems like the hook was indeed stuck and when he left to take off thinking the hook was disconnected the line pulled him back towards the structure and i think he was trying not to descend but had no control at that point

He just couldn`t keep his lift, those things need some serious power to stay up, maybe the weather was bad as well. In any case I don`t think the pilot thought he was clear coming down, I`ll bet there was a a lot of swearing in Korean in those last few moments.

Looks like a rookie mistake to me. I cannot imagine this happening to a helicoptor veteran.
